Agent of Empires (AoE)

  Tuesdays at 9:00am ET (New York). RSVP to the next one and Discord will show it in your own timezone, or join the Discord first.

A session manager for AI coding agents on Linux and macOS. Run agents in
parallel across branches, monitor them from the TUI or a browser, and keep each
one in a persistent session with optional worktree and container isolation.

How It Works

Each agent runs in its own tmux session, so your agents keep running when you close the TUI, disconnect SSH, or your terminal crashes. Reopen aoe and everything is where you left it. The key shortcut to know: Ctrl+b d detaches from a session and returns to the TUI.

Install

Requires tmux on Linux or macOS.
Docker is optional, for sandboxing.

Nix and source builds are covered in

FAQ

What happens when I close aoe? Nothing. Sessions are tmux sessions running in the background; they are removed only when you delete them.
